Wow, the bucket is only 24" wide? That is only 1 1/2 inches in 1/16 scale. The bucket I made is 2 inches wide and looks about right.

Thanks for the measurements Neil, I went through all of your numbers today and set the hoe up with your measurements. It works and digs great set to scale size. I packed some dirt hard and added water to make it thick & heavy, loaded one of the Tonkas and it did very well. It should really dig well when I get teeth on the bucket.
